The Pico Macom CA-30/1000 is a high-quality push-pull, wall-mounted distribution amplifier that produces signals with extremely low-noise and harmonic distortion. The amplifier is capable of broadband 158-channel operation over the 54-MHz to 1000-MHz range. This amplifier makes an excellent distribution system amplifier for heavily loaded MDU and broadband CATV and SMATV systems. Because of its extremely low-noise figure and low distortion, the CA-30/1000 is ideally suited for use in larger networks where amplifier cascading is required. In expanding bi-directional broadband systems, the CA-30/1000 can be used in conjunction with Tru-Spec Sub CATV diplexers to split forward and reverse paths. Alternately, Pico Macom's PIDA series of bi-directional amplifiers may be used.

The Pico Macom CA-30/550 is a high-quality push-pull, wall-mounted distribution amplifier that produces signals with extremely low-noise and harmonic distortion. This amplifier is capable of 82-channel operation over the 54-MHz to 550-MHz range, and makes an excellent distribution system amplifier in MDU, CATV, and SMATV systems. Because of its extremely low-noise figure and low distortion, the CA-30/550 is ideally suited for use in larger networks where amplifier cascading is required. In expanding bi-directional broadband systems, Pico Macom's PIDA series bi-directional amplifiers should be used.

The CA-30/870AR distribution amplifier is a high quality push-pull amplifier that produces signals with extremely low distortion and harmonic content.

Pico Digital's IPQT-12 is a professional-grade Edge QAM that accepts a GbE IP input in the clear or pre-encrypted sources and converts the selected streams into 12 QAM RF channels. The Edge QAM supports Multiple and Single Transport Stream configurations and is easy to set up, control and monitor with the 10/100 Base-T Ethernet port. The IPQT-12 Edge QAM is a single rack spaced chassis that also supports optional EAS and external redundant power. Ideal uses for the IPQT-12 Edge QAM include commercial residential properties, academic and medical facilities, local area network applications for both CATV and broadcast as well as the hospitality industries.

The PD100 is a low cost MPEG-2 or H.264 single channel encoding device used to stream video and audio across any IP network. The unit can be used in CATV systems, security or hospitality applications where linear IP video is required. The PD100 accepts HDMI in the clear, component or composite video input and audio input via embedded HDMI, digital S/PDIF or analog.

The professional-grade PD1000 HD encoder modulation system allows users to encode HD, SD, and HD-SDI signals in MPEG-2 or H.264 formats, all in a single rack space.
